A few weeks ago people were slamming Trump for his travel restrictions, now Trudeau is doing similar for international travel but is far too late with it.  People's hatred for Trump is completely unhinged.

Travel restrictions aren't generally effective.  Trump's travel bans are proof of that.  Social distance and hand wash.

Flatten the curve they say.  If travel restriction aren't effective then why is Canada implementing them?

A few weeks ago Trump said that Corona was a hoax generated by the Dems,and in any case that it would go away when the weather warmed up. He also said a few days ago the US had it completely under control. Now there are your blatant examples of "truly unhinged"

Two reasons - people look to the government to do something.  Sometimes, there's very little for government to do.  The border closures give the look of control.  The more pertinent reason though - it streamlines the work of the CBSA, and enhances social distancing at airports.

This idiot couldn't organize a free **** in a whorehouse and he wouldn't be in business if he hadn't been handed a real estate company from his daddy, which he quickly turned into a "slum lord" operation. Frightening but not surprising that daddy in law would take his advice on such a serious issue as Corona.

Rally around him for what, restricting non essential travel? Give me an effing break. Spineless!

Trump could shut down the border for food and medical supplies, which we rely ont he USA heavily for.  That would be a disaster.

Quote
James Moore, who served as a cabinet minister in Stephen Harper’s Conservative government, said in an e-mail interview it is reasonable for Ottawa to assume that Mr. Trump would feel humiliated by a border blockade and “could respond by (irrationally) doing the same to Canada as he did with his steel tariffs.” He could “thus cause massive shortages of goods that Canadians need – like fresh food, medical equipment and drugs.”

I'm very critical of Trump and Trudeau's responses.  But not everything Trump has done has been bad, same with Trudeau. You hate the man, you can't be reasoned with.

How would you attempt to "reason" with me to convince me I should like a man who brags about "grabbing women by the **** because I'm a star"? And who lies consistently about important issues, including currently on Corona.

You’re praising a man who said it was a hoax by the Democrats....   ::)

I'll bet that took a hell of a lot of arm twisting. The folks close to him were probably becoming embarrassed.

I'm not praising him, I'm saying he isn't the anti-christ.  He's an ignorant douche but he isn't 100% wrong 100% of the time, that's my point.

So what percentage of time being 100% wrong would be OK with you? And I'm not talking about wrongs being errors, but "wrongs" being intentional. Here's a list.

The "sharpie fiasco" is a real hoot. Well unless you live in Alabama.

Let's join the Yanks, they control our borders anyway. Why even have CBSA on our southern border, they are just tax collectors.
